Chapter 197: Beth

Carson is fussy. Hell, I'm fussy. I have no control and it's like being at the ranch all over again.

Rack is delivering me into the hands of a motorcycle gang. A very bad one. He didn't pull punches when he told me who and what they are.

I walk back and forth over the cool tile floor and bounce Carson against my chest.

"I'll walk with him if you need to sleep."

I turn to Shelby, who's been nothing but wonderful. Now I've brought danger straight to her doorstep. "I'll sleep in the car after we leave. I'm sure Carson will sleep then or at least I hope." I've tried everything to get him to nap. Not even feeding works.

She wipes the edges of her eyes. "We'll miss you," she says as she bends down and pets Daisy.

I stop walking. "I'm so sorry, Shelby."
